Default Moving "forward", to further shorten the bars, won't help.

This three inches of adjustability doesn't do you any good? I'm surprised - it is a narrow (front to back) bracket.Bill
At 27-1/2" inches, the rear-most lit bracket position is "running into" the swing hitch (the cross bars and the reinforcement bars above and below). It's too short already.

But, at a minimum length of 24-1/2", it is still much too long to fit entirely on the swing portion. The entire range of "adjustability" falls within "no man's land", conflicting with the swing hitch.
